"We have a police commander who is speaking from the point of view of the police chief," Arieli said. "And we have a bomb tech specialist who is actually speaking about the techniques and the improvised explosive devices that were used by the terrorists."

He said the conference was put on by the Israeli consulate in Chicago, the FBI and Minnetonka police. This is the second year it has taken place.

"Every year we are bringing top-notch professionals from the Israeli police to share some knowledge and know how about how to deal with the terrorism with our American friends," Arieli said.
